12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Delivering fast and securely in public-sector programs is harder when compliance, tooling, and team alignment lag behind innovation.

The situation this course is for

Mid-market teams supporting public-sector contracts often face pressure to deliver quickly while meeting strict security and audit requirements. Standard DevOps practices don’t address compliance-by-design, leading to rework, delayed approvals, and operational friction. Professionals lack a clear, step-by-step guide to implement DevSecOps in environments where accountability, traceability, and governance are non-negotiable.

Who this is for

Technology leaders, compliance officers, and engineering managers in mid-market firms delivering services to public-sector agencies. They need to scale secure delivery without expanding headcount or increasing risk.

Who this is not for

This course is not for enterprise-scale federal integrators or startups in commercial SaaS. It’s specifically tailored for mid-market organizations operating under public-sector compliance mandates like FedRAMP, FISMA, or NIST-aligned frameworks.

What you walk away with

  • Implement a compliance-aware CI/CD pipeline aligned with public-sector standards
  • Integrate security controls without slowing delivery velocity
  • Build audit-ready documentation automatically
  • Align cross-functional teams around shared DevSecOps KPIs
  • Reduce time-to-approval for system authorization by up to 40%
